I will partly blame institute authorities for that. HP did came to light to fund B.Tech Final Year Major Projects though. No other Indian IT company.

India's share 0.6% of world trade compared to 87% of G8 is a sad result, because the G8 has managed the supply side management vs. our mindset of demand side management!!! Brilliant insight Sanjay. We sure need a catalyst to build momentum to innovation. Completely agree that it is brand and competence which are key differentiators. Brand, in its wholesome definition. At a fundamental level, I think it is a lack of conviction in our self-worth, which actually translates into the 'fear of failure' and therefore the safe game of incrementalism! Outstanding article!
